I love new authors and love to find THE STORY that makes my day. I really could give a crap who it comes from. And contrary to popular belief, we editors do read all the subs we get. It just seems like we don’t give it the time of day because we’ve gotten very good at figuring out within a few lines whether it “suits our needs”. (That phrase, too, is not just a “torture device” but a valid, honest response.)

Submit submit submit and never stop. Start at the top and work your way down. Keep going forever, with every piece. That’s what gets you published and working.

But well-known names do sell magazines, too.

So what will be the “most” of the reader’s worries in this case?
